CCFC not allowing CT to give updates on press conference (1 Viewer)

SlowerThanPlatt · Aug 11, 2014

Any idea why?

SkyBlueScottie · Aug 11, 2014

Yes. Can't say

SlowerThanPlatt · Aug 11, 2014

Sorry, no live blog from press conference - #skyblues told us minutes before we were not allowed to this time #pusb

Strange.

Nick · Aug 11, 2014

What press conference?

SlowerThanPlatt · Aug 11, 2014

SP's I think. Wishful thinking but maybe something is being announced and CCFC does not want the media running it before everything is 100% sorted.

Deleted member 4232 · Aug 11, 2014

Press conference? Wa'gwaanin?

ecky · Aug 11, 2014

When is the press release?

SkyBlueScottie · Aug 11, 2014

Nothing exciting, its the press conference for Weds game.

Kingokings204 · Aug 11, 2014

Why no live blogs? Absolutely no reason whatsoever.

I think a return to the Ricoh is coming.

Sky Blue Kid · Aug 11, 2014

Simple answer..CT has dared to speak the truth and are no longer friends with SISU. So much for transparency eh SISU ?

Well dictators try to gag the press, but eventually the truth will come out...

https://twitter.com/CovTel_CCFC/status/498750473575612416 the rumour mill is well underway

Nick · Aug 11, 2014

Surely if they were blocking out the cet they wouldn't be invited at all? Isn't it just that they can't do things live but can when they come out?

Kingokings204 · Aug 11, 2014

People think it's more pressley leaving for Huddersfield than a Ricoh return?

Either way something is happening

About the Cardiff game, don't want to reveal any of our tactics

tbf, announcing tactics at a press conference not the best way to keep a secret, regardless.

Kingokings204 · Aug 11, 2014

People are saying "Elvis has left the building"

If they were unhappy with the CET this is the sort of thing you could do to show that and punish the cet without producing a major incident. Could you imagine the uproar if ccfc banned the ct from press conferences?

never boring

Is it really punishing them though? It's not gagging or anything as people are making out is it? They can report it after it finishes can't they?

They can. Usual reasons for this kind of thing are as mundane as the club want the news (be it big or small) on their website first.

We've been invaded by North Korea and Kim Jong-un has put a ban on the freedom of the press?

Alternatively it coul bd just what Simon has said.

Not that big a deal then? Of course unless they were completely ignored.

its a very minor punishment I completely agree, I just think being awkward and difficult to work with is the sort of thing that would happen if they were unhappy with the cet but without having anyway to properly show that without going nuclear and without cutting off their own nose to spite their face as the cet provides alot of free publicity for the club.

I have no idea what the reason is for this of course.

mark82 · Aug 11, 2014

We'll find out soon enough.

covmark · Aug 11, 2014

what time did the press conference start?

It's only the same as issuing a Press Release to the media but embargoing public distribution until a given time. Unusual so it may mean there is something of significance:
Evens - Pressley off to Huddersfield (or given permission to talk)
2/1 - Money released from Escrow Account to ACL
10/1 - Offer made to ACL for return
50/1 - Sisu have dropped Appeal
100/1 - Done deal on Ricoh Return

9:20

SlowerThanPlatt · Aug 11, 2014

Here's what the CT blog said:

Ah, this is embarrasing. We've had a gremlin thrown into the works. The lads at Ryton have been told by the Sky Blues they aren't allowed to give you live updates today.

Not sure why but there you go. Sorry about that. Thanks for dropping by for the world's shortest live blog!
Check the website later when, hopefully, we'll bring you news about whatever happened at the conference.

BigadamL · Aug 11, 2014

I can see it now, Timmy fisher walks in and reveals plans for the new stadium but tells them all they can't say sh*t for another three months

AFCCOVENTRY · Aug 11, 2014

Fisher wants to hand edit the update by the cet today. Wants to put his own spin on things...

Hobo · Aug 11, 2014

I'm sure RFC could tell us, except it would breach the confidentiality of someone very close to him.

shmmeee · Aug 11, 2014

Surely the point of a press conference is to let the press report it?

Bit strange. The most secretive companies in the world like Apple and Nintendo allow live blogging of their massive events and product reveals.

If I was the CET I'd just get the people at Ryton to start tweeting it as it goes, why the hell not?

Decision not to allow live blog from this morning's CCFC press conference was a misunderstanding. No great conspiracy theory.

Not so sure the voices in his head count as a someone to be quite honest with you.
